🇺🇸 Power outage has hit thousands of Americans as a potent winter storm threatened blizzard-like conditions and power outages in parts of the Upper Midwest as other areas of the country braced Monday for plunging temperatures, strong winds and a mix of snow, ice, and rain.

About 350,000 customers were in the dark on Monday morning, with about a third of those outages in Michigan, according to Poweroutage.us.

Blizzard conditions continued in some parts of northern Iowa on Monday morning, especially in open rural areas, according to the weather service’s office in Des Moines. Blowing snow was expected to continue through the morning.

The National Weather Service warned of 1 to 3 feet (about 30 to 91 centimeters) of lake-effect snow from Monday through Thursday and high winds, with gusts up to 75 mph (121 kph), in western New York on Monday. Similar conditions were expected along Lake Erie in Michigan and Ohio.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul said in a social media post that travel in the Buffalo area could become dangerous beginning at 11 a.m. Monday because of potential whiteout conditions and urged people to avoid driving.

The very strong cold front meant parts of the central U.S. woke up Monday to temperatures up to 50 degrees F colder than a day earlier, according to the weather service’s Weather Prediction Center. The cold front was accompanied by strong gusty winds.

The storm is expected to intensify as it moves east, drawing energy from a sharp clash between frigid air plunging south from Canada and unusually warm air that has lingered across the southern United States, according to the National Weather Service.

The snow and strengthening winds began spreading Sunday across the northern Plains, where the National Weather Service warned of whiteout conditions and possible blizzard conditions that could make travel impossible in some areas.

Snowfall totals were expected to exceed a foot (30 centimeters) across parts of the upper Great Lakes and as much as double that along the south shore of Lake Superior.

"Small Ukraine" that is the largest country in Europe after Russia?

"Small Ukraine" that has the largest Army in Europe after Russia? Larger than France and Germany combined at one point. Until Russia grinded them down.

Small Ukraine that has received a military supplies of $450 billion. Bigger than the GDP of many countries?

Small Ukraine that is receiving the full force and support of US and 40 other countries?

If Ukraine is small then what is Afghanistan?

Your America fought those goat herders for 20 years and lost.

Russia is in a war, it's understandable. The power was restored almost immediately. What is the US excuse?

Is the US different from Nigeria where small wind can plunge the whole country in darkness??

See how I made a Putin supporter to praise Ukraine.

Do you even know the meaning of winter storm? Do you? Nah, you don't!

Russia fought Taliban for just 10 years and ran away.

Taliban didn't defeat USA. USA did their job, handed Afghanistan to their leaders. They can't babysit forever. It was Afghanistan that gave their country back to Taliban.

So the US defeated Taliban? Who's in power in Afghanistan today? 🤣 🤣

At least Russia did not fight the Taliban with the backing of 32 NATO nations. They did not pack the whole world to fight goat herders like America.

Dvmmy. Everyone including myself have always known this.

Ukraine was never a small country. This is why they're of great interest of both NATO and Russia.

Ukraine inherited thousands of military equipments from the Soviet union. Far bigger arsenal than France.

Hezzyluv:
But prior to Putin invasion of Ukraine, you people were saying, Russian would smoke Ukraine out like shi-sha in less than 2weeks. You never believed Ukrainian armies can touch a strand of hair of a Russian soldier. What just changed now?
